Due to performance issues on a server, a Linux administrator needs to terminate an unresponsive process. Which of the following commands should the administrator use to terminate the process immediately without waiting for a graceful shutdown?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

SIGKILL is used to immediately terminate a process without allowing it to clean up. It does not give the process a chance to gracefully shut down, which is what's needed in the case of an unresponsive process.

The -SIGKILL command is like the nuclear option for processes. It's like saying 'I don't care what you're doing, just stop it!'

Actually, for immediate termination without waiting for a graceful shutdown, you should use the -SIGKILL option instead.
